How to manage the members of your home

Members are the people in your home who do chores, earn rewards or help manage the family. You can add as many members as you like.

See your members

  1. Tap Settings at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Tap My Homes.
  3. Tap a home. You see how many members it has and a card for each member.

Each card shows the member's roles: Household Manager, Earns Rewards or Limit Access.

Add a member

  1. Tap Add Member on the member list. You can also tap the + button on the Home tab, then Add Member.
  2. Fill in the member's details (see the options below).
  3. Tap Save.

Edit a member

  1. On the member list, tap the three dots on the member's card.
  2. Tap Edit.
  3. Change the details and tap Save.

Member options

  • Photo: tap the camera circle at the top, then choose Camera or Gallery.
  • Name: required.
  • Household Manager: for parents and other adults who run the home.
    • A Household Manager sees everyone's chores on the Home tab.
    • Only a Household Manager can settle or adjust balances, flag tasks as incomplete, skip a rotation turn and dismiss overdue chores.
    • A Household Manager can't have Limit Access.
  • Earn Rewards: when this is on, the member earns allowance or points for the chores they complete. It is on by default for new members. It is off for the profile Chore Boss creates for you, so your own chores don't add to a balance.
  • Limit Access: for children. The member can complete their chores but can't add, edit or delete chores or change the home's settings. See How to prevent other users from making changes.
  • Birth Year: optional. It helps Chore Boss suggest age-appropriate chores and rewards.

Remove a member

  1. On the member list, tap the three dots on the member's card.
  2. Tap Delete.
  3. Tap Yes to confirm.

A home always needs at least one Household Manager, so you can't remove the last one.

Invite a member to use their own phone

Tap Share Invite Code on the member's card. See How to invite other users to a home.

Troubleshooting

  • "You can't remove the last Household Manager of this home." Make another member a Household Manager first, then remove this one.
  • I can't turn on Limit Access: turn off Household Manager first.
  • A child didn't earn a reward: edit the child and check that Earn Rewards is on.
  • I don't see My Homes in Settings: the member selected on this phone has Limit Access. Switch to a parent's profile from the name at the top of the Home tab.
